I (22M) had an argument with my partner(30F) and hit her for the first time

I know fighting over something as small as an email is stupid. My partner is very stressed at the moment and she is worrying about her visa getting approved or taking to long to get approved. So she’s at home all day not doing much. She has time to think on and dwell about things I’ve done and or she’s done wrong. She’s just extra agitated. I love my partner and I know she her life and my life stabilise we will be happy together. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve never struck her in 3 years. I just want to deal with my physical violence. I’ve never and mean never been violent with anyone I love. I just want her to know I won’t be violent with her again. This is traumatic for me thinking back on it. I know I won’t do it again.
